When drawn to a path we must then become committed to walking it. Discouragement is a product of fear. It is a partner to doubt. Both are present when there is a premature quitting of anything worthwhile. Commitment to something requires that we have an understanding of why we are doing what we are doing. If we do not truly value the task, activity, person etc., we will surely abandon the path. The committed soul gives meaning to all things. We have an understanding of the value and importance of who we are and what we do. The path to peace is walked with committed feet not detoured by the thoughts of fear or guilt, but rather walk to a constant pace. Knowledge gained through introspection, meditation, and trials firm up the self acceptance, giving the follower confidence to keep walking.
